Article Synopsis
  • The study examined the use of right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) stenting versus the modified Blalock-Taussig shunt (mBTS) as treatments for children with stenotic RVOTs aged 1 to 18, revealing limited literature on their comparative effectiveness.* -
  • Data from 58 patients indicated that both procedures resulted in similar rates of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), but mBTS patients had shorter overall hospital stays, while RVOT stenting led to shorter ICU stays.* -
  • Overall, RVOT stenting showed comparable results to mBTS concerning MACE and oxygen saturation levels at discharge, suggesting it could be a viable option for palliation in this patient population.*

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is the most aggressive subtype of breast cancer, having a poor prognosis and rapid metastases. TNBC is characterized by the absence of estrogen, progesterone, and human epidermal growth receptor-2 (HER2) expressions and has a five-year survival rate. Compared to other breast cancer subtypes, TNBC patients only respond to conventional chemotherapies, and even then, with limited success.

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a breast cancer subtype that does not express the estrogen receptor, the progesterone receptor, or the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 and that is characterized by high invasiveness, high metastatic potential, and poor prognosis. TNBC lacks receptors and hence cannot be treated by using targeted therapies; as such, the therapeutic potential of Indonesian herbal plants against this disease is worth exploring. Herein, we explore the molecular docking and the molecular dynamics simulations of α-mangostin on glycogen synthase kinase 3β (GSK3β; PDB ID: 4ACC).

Background: HIV infection in pregnancy is a big concern for the future of our nation. The virus can be transmitted to the baby through pregnancy, childbirth and during breastfeeding which rendering to early detection and intervention. The aim of this study was to describe the transmission prevention cascade among our patient.
